Ab, Bad, Khak, Nan plot

In an oasis in the Iranian desert, eleven-year-old Abolfazl picks dates, tends his family's cows, does homework and has fun with his best friend Setayesh. The camera quietly registers their friendship. How they swing between the date palms, or climb the mighty rocks around the oasis. Mother bakes fresh bread, tourists come to her guesthouse for the paradisiacal atmosphere. But life in the oasis is not completely idyllic. Although Abolfazl lives with a physical disability, it is Setayesh who faces an even bigger stumbling block. She is one of 40,000 children in Iran who do not have a birth certificate, and as a result she cannot go to school.
